Battle of Nola

The Second Battle of Nola was fought in 215 BC between Hannibal's army and a Roman force under Marcus Claudius Marcellus. It was Hannibal's second attempt to seize Nola after a failure the year before. He was again repelled and would make one more, also unsuccessful attempt the next year. For the Romans, it was a crucial success against Hannibal's army and gave them hope that they could win the war.

== Aftermath == Hans Delbrück in 1920 described the three battles of Nola as Marcellus' alleged victories and very insignificant engagements.
